Variety traits
Syringa vulgaris L.
The lilac bud is a qualitative trait of the cultivar that reflects the specific color and shape of the inflorescences at the pre-flowering stage. This trait is used for varietal identification and recording the phenological development phases of the plant.
In the reference 16 varieties crop Common lilac, where this is mentioned in the description.
In lilac variety testing, the bud is evaluated visually by shape, for example, as round-elongated or elongated-round, and by color intensity, such as purple, lilac-pink, or pale lilac-purple. These parameters are critical for cultivar identification, as the color of the buds often creates a contrast with the color of the fully opened flowers, forming a bicolor inflorescence effect.
Phenologically, the appearance of buds is recorded as the moment when 10% of the plants have inflorescences reaching the spear-shaped or triangular primordium stage. This stage is necessary for determining precise flowering dates and assessing the development rhythm of the cultivar, and also allows specialists to distinguish natural varietal traits from damage caused by adverse weather conditions.
